Ask A Pro

“Dr. Roberds, I’ve heard
about chiropractic, but I’m
hesitant to try it. How does it work?”

Answer:That’s a fair and intelligent question.
I’ll address it, but first I’ll ask
you to consider this question; do you know how aspirin
works? Most people have no idea, other than, “It
makes my pain go away.”
What would happen if, before accepting a prescription, you
asked your medical practitioner how it works? After all, the
word “doctor” means ‘teacher’ or ‘learned man’. It is every
doctor’s solemn duty, especially in health care, to do no harm
and to protect his patients by teaching them how to make safe
and intelligent health care choices. A doctor’s highest calling is
to prevent the very things he treats. That means medical and
chiropractic doctors. It also means the medical doctor should
know when to refer you to a chiropractic doctor, just as the
chiropractor should know when to refer you to a medic. Saying,
“Trust me, I’m a doctor,” doesn’t cut it. You are right to ask any
doctor for honest answers before you decide.
Now to your question; The scientific evidence for chiropractic
goes back to the early 20th Century and is voluminous. Let
me give you just one early example, but first let’s define ‘health’.
Dorland’s Medical Dictionary says health is having all your
parts functioning all the time. That’s simple enough. We can’t
do much about missing parts or time past, so that leaves function.
In other words, function equals health and malfunction
equals disease.
As early as 1921, Henry Winsor, MD did research, at the
University of Pennsylvania, on 75 human cadavers and 22
cat cadavers. He found, in every case, that the cause of death
was a diseased organ, and the nerve that controlled that organ
could be traced back to a distorted or misaligned vertebra in the
spine.
Dr. Winsor’s conclusion, simplified here for brevity: “...irritation
near the nerve will cause functional changes in the organs
supplied by that nerve.” (*1)
You may recall in an earlier post we mentioned Chung
Ha Suh, M.D.(*2) who discovered that just the weight of
a quarter, caused by a vertebra pressing on a nerve, could
shut a nerve’s function down 60%, causing the organ, which it
controls, to shut down, as well.
In other words, spinal distortions create interference to your
nerves, and that interrupts the normal communication between
the brain and the body. That is malfunction. Only by removing
that nerve interference, can the nerves function normally and
allow the body to fuction normally.
Did you know that Doctors of Chiropractic are the only
licensed health care professionals who are specifically educated
and trained to detect, correct and prevent spinal misalignments
which cause spinal distortions, degeneration, nerve interference
and malfunction?
Health is all about function.

*1 Dr. Winsor’s results are published in The Medical
Times, Nov. 1921.

Male Hormones and Coronary Artery Disease

Declining Male Hormones and Coronary                Artery Disease

The August 2011 issue of the

Journal of Geriatric Cardiology just published its latest findings on the link between andropause (male menopause) and cardiovascular disease.

The cornerstone of this review is the fact that: 

declining male hormones and the rise of coronary artery disease co-exist. 

Andropause refers to a generalized decline of 

male hormones, which have been associated with depression, loss of libido, sexual dysfunction and body composition or how you look, (see figures above).

Some men may also demonstrate early signs of metabolic derangements—such as metabolic syndrome, (a collection of symptoms that can lead to diabetes and heart disease) and vascular dysfunction—which is defined as a condition affecting the inner lining of the blood vessels, causing an imbalance between vasodilation and vasoconstriction, and because there is a lack of certain hormones...these men are more prone to...develop and suffer from coronary artery disease, heart attacks and stroke.

According to Schwarz, one of the experts quoted in the review, he has evidenced a vicious cycle in patients who have coronary heart disease, with reduced levels of testosterone and other sexual hormones:  

Aging brings hormonal declines and the development of heart disease—while the heart disease instigates the sexual hormones to decline even more.  It is a vicious cycle you do not want to be a part of.

“Whether replacement of testosterone in these men would be able to prevent the development or worsening of heart disease is currently unknown.  However, numerous studies on men and women with heart failure showed that when treated with androgen therapy (safe hormone creams), they experience better functional capacity than those who aren’t undergoing the treatment,” Schwarz said.

According to this scientific review, the use of androgen replacement therapy in andropausal men may be clinically indicated, and with the appropriate supervision and follow up may prove to be beneficial with regard to preservation of the integrity of cardiovascular health, as these men advance in years.
